They have a policy of being a sanctuary for illegal aliens that have commited crimes. They do not (or did not) turn illegals over to imigration for deportation. Now, Edwin Ramos, who has been arrested before and not turned over to immigration, murdered three people. He should have been deported years ago. If he had been previously deported the 3 people would not have been murdered. I'm sure they will try to settle this out of court but it is going to be a huge bill to pay!
Illegal aliens have more rights in the US than citizens do.
